Check back in a day or two for complete coverage on ACTV #2. Kim and I are off to Napa this weekend with our friends’ Todd and Cheryl. Its been a hectic few weeks traveling, but its been a blast!

Hi Scott,
I hate to be one of those people (you know, a whiny, naggy bitch), but I want to see ACTV #1 and dont have the technology here without downloading stuff. The problem with that is if I download stuff here, I will be fired. I do not own a personal computer (yet and I’m working on it) and really really want to see the show. Is there any way at all I could see it in WMP?

K, thanks! Great show by the way. I just wonder why the law does not allow us to lock dirtbags of various weeks in a room and either let them eat one another or tie ‘em up and beat ‘em with sticks and such. But I digress.

As students of Economics, my friend and I have just recently finished a paper on the Correction system in the US, it turns out that it’s pretty costly to lock people up in jail, then I remebered that in one of the past episode, you mentioned two brothers who tortured a dog and tossed it into an oven, and that they got sentensed to 10 years in prison, shit, that’s actually gonna waste a lot of taxpayers’ money, seriously, I think the best way to “correct” such sick people would be to send them to a place where they can learn how to appreciate peaceful and lovely life, send them to Iraq, ask them to grab a gun and patrol a street, let their nerve systems go through a thrilling, scaring, and torturing process, trust me, when they got bullets flying over them head, they would love to be placed in an oven…

Hey Scott,
Just wanted to comment on the listener rant. First I just gotta say, ladies please stay out of the men’s restroom. There’s nothing like heading to the restroom of some bar after about your 6th beer to get that much needed relief, and finding out that you have to pinch it off because the women did’nt want to wait in line. I understand it sucks to wait when you have to pee, but how is it fair to take over the mens bathroom. The lines in the women’s bathroom would move much faster if they stopped going in groups. Going to the bathroom is not a group activity. One big reason men’s lines move faster is that we go one at a time, take a pee, and leave. Anytime I have actually had to wait in line at my favorite local bar has been because a group of women have barracaded off the two stalls, leaving the guys only two urinals & slowing down the flow of traffic. If my friends and I stood around in a group in the women’s bathroom, waiting for each other to take turns using the toilet like they do, we’d get carted off in hadcuffs & forever labeled perverts. As for seperate bathrooms being segregation, well it could be an interesting topic to bs about but I’m not sure if it could ever seriously be considered segregation. Just for arguments say all bathrooms became unisex, then next all lockerrooms would have to be unisex, then all showers in the lockerroom would be unisex, dressing rooms in department stores would have to be unisex. I don’t think even the woman who ranted on this would be happy about say changing in a unisex lockerroom while some 350lb man stood by wearing nothing but a wife-beater and 3-tooth grin as he watched her. Although I gotta say, unisex lockerrooms and showers would have been great 10 years or so ago when I was in high school, and even better when I was in college. Damn, it appears I went on a rant myself.

I gave the utility of public unisex restrooms some serious critical consideration a few years ago, and reasoned that public unisex restrooms are not widespread in The States because of safety concerns. I think it would be too easy to pull off a rape in a place as private as a restroom.
